Both novel fonts and computer icons can be covered by design patents. Icons are only covered, however, when they are displayed on a computer screen, thus making them part of an article of manufacture with practical utility. Screen layouts can also be protected with design patents.
Hm, does Voyager have his blessing for being so similar to Apollo I wonder?
Does it need it? AFAIK, you can’t copyright a design.
You can’t copyright the underlying idea. You can copyright the specific expression of that idea.
Pretty sure that’s exactly what copyright is for, actually
Pretty sure you’re not a lawyer so pretty sure you CAN’T be pretty sure about this

Not that it actually matters at all though.
I believe he does not like it
I don’t believe there is fuck-all he can do about it, unless it’s somehow directly lifting code.
Voyager is built from the ground up as a web app, not even possible to directly lift code from Apollo
Thats probably why he hasnt done fuck all, that doesnt mean he has to like it.

Seems like it does not, but it also seems like Christian isn’t really taking action against it.
He’s a smart guy and he wants to move on. He should do that and people should leave him alone but when he puts himself on the record, its fair game.
